Montblanc TimeWalker Twinfly Black Titanium LE

This limited edition of 300 pieces caught my eye at a MB Boutique and I thought I would share some photos with you.

This is an automatic chronograph with the flyback feature on both the central chrono seconds and minute hands. The minute counter hand is short and has its own dedicated minute track. Circles within circles which, combined with the dial decoration and layers, adds a lot of interest on the wrist despite the monochromatic appearance of the watch. The second complication is a dual time zone with day-night indication via a 24 hour dial at 12 o’clock and there is also a large date at 9 o’clock.

Inside beats the in-house Cal. MB LL 100 which is a rather attractive movement with a skeletonised winding rotor and a lot of depth in the movement architecture with a partially skeletonised mainplate. There are twin barrels with a PR of 72 hours and the chrono function impressively utilises a column wheel with a vertical clutch.

The watch is housed in a 43mm diamond-like carbon (DLC) finished titanium case. I appreciate the lightness in a watch of this size and it sits comfortably on the wrist on an alligator strap with a simple pin buckle. I was familiar with the steel Timewalker case from my previous review, but I enjoyed this titanium version even more.

Cool Sports Watch. This watch is really cool. It's so technical looking in black and the in-house chronograph has really great buttons with the perfect amount of feedback that gives the perfect amount of tactile feel when pushing the button, much like the precision weighted...

think titanium + grey version is much sexier!!!

You mean the GreyTech? That's my favorite too. The movement even has a "grey" treatment.

The whole booth looked very much like an interesting gallery for modern art, but there was much more to see and to experience. Mike already showed you the latest watches from 2013 and he also mentioned it looks like a consolidating year for Montblanc. The latter is fine for me, especially if the evolution shown is well done like this. We (Magnus & me) didn´t see the whole collection and tried to focus on something we were especially interested in.
